Keeping The Appliance In Top Shape (C) - Braun BGK 7090 Typ 5377 Gebrauchsanweisung

Sensitive area (e.g. underarm) epilation
• The sensitive cap (12) has been specifically designed for this use. Place it onto the
epilation head. Please be aware that especially at the beginning, these areas are
particularly pain-sensitive. Therefore, we recommend that you select speed setting
«I» for the first few times. With repeated usage the pain sensation will diminish.
• Before epilating, thoroughly clean the respective area to remove residues (like
deodorant).
• When epilating the underarm, keep your arm raised up so that the skin is stretched
and guide the appliance in different directions. As skin may be more sensitive directly
after epilation, avoid using irritating substances such as deodorants with alcohol.

Keeping the appliance in top shape (C)

Cleaning with water (a)
• After each wet usage, thoroughly clean the appliance with water. Remove the
smoothing cap (2) and clean it under warm running water.
• Hold the appliance with the epilation head under running water and briefly switch it
on. Then press the release button (10) to remove the epilation head.
• Shake the appliance and the epilation head to remove excess water. Remove the
non-slip grip and leave all parts to dry. Before reattaching, make sure all parts are
completely dry.
• After reassembling the epilation head and the smoothing cap, you may attach the
protection cap (1) to protect the blade.
Cleaning with the brush (b)
• If you have used the appliance in dry conditions, it may be sufficient to clean it with
the brush.
• Thoroughly clean the tweezers from the rear side of the epilation head with the brush
dripped in alcohol. While doing so, turn the tweezer element manually. This cleaning
method ensures best hygienic conditions for the epilation head.
Replacing the Smoothing cap
• The smoothing cap (2) is provided with a lubrastrip (2b) which turns white over time to
indicate that the blade is becoming dull and that it is time to replace the smoothing
cap.
• As the lubrastrip is water soluble the smoothing cap should be stored in a dry
environment and never be left in the sink, face down.
• To ensure maximum performance, replace the smoothing cap after 12 usages, when
the lubrastrip turns white or when the blade shows wear or kinks or is damaged.
• Replacement smoothing caps (reference #771WD) are available from retailer where
the appliance was bought, from Braun Service Centres or via www.service.braun.com
Using the shaver head (D)
The shaver head (13) is designed for a fast and close shave of legs, chest and
underarms, trimming and cutting hair. With the shaver head attached, use the appliance
only on dry skin and with speed setting «II».
